The two excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen" show the tragic heroine in the characters of Antigone and Boadicea. Here, both women are shown them acting in their best interests but at the same time, also resulted in the death or suffering of their near ones. Boadicea takes her life and also that of her daughters while Antigone's act of going against the king to bury her brother led to the suffering of her sister Ismene too.
